In an amended SEC filing ahead of its IPO, Reddit warned potential investors that "...on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims." Nokia, of course, leaned into, ahem, patent licensing and networking equipment as its business many years ago, and reminded people of it with last year’s logo redesign. Companies paying Nokia licensing fees include HTC, Apple, and more recently, Oppo.
Fair enough. And I’m absolutely far more interested in convincing people to just not jump to “patent troll” with this little to go on.
And preferably not spreading misinfo like “nokia is just a microsoft puppet” when this is about the part of the company that MS never even acquired.
